BRICS: Here’s Why Other Countries Want to Ditch the U.S. Dollar

While the U.S. dollar is the de facto world’s reserve currency, the White House and leading American banks and entities command the world’s financial order. The privilege of being dominant for decades leaves no room for other countries to thrive and survive. Many other countries don’t want to be under the purview of the U.S. dollar and are aiming to strengthen their native currencies. Developing countries want their currency to dictate their future and not the U.S. dollar and other American financial entities.

The U.S. dollar is growing strong against all the other currencies in the world including the Pound, Euro, and Yen. This leaves no scope for native currencies to thrive and will always remain under the command of the U.S. dollar. Breaking away from the pattern makes native currencies stronger as they would be used for cross-border settlements. Therefore, the U.S. dollar growing stronger is a cause of concern among developing nations.

The U.S. pressing sanctions on developing economies is what made them consider trading in native currencies. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen confirmed that the White House pressing sanctions on other countries is only hurting the U.S. dollar. The BRICS bloc made use of the opportunity and is convincing other countries to trade in local currencies. While China is asking other nations to pay in the Chinese Yuan, India is asking to pay in the Rupee.
